Lol just enjoyed the joy that is Baron Geddon + Northshire Clerics. Wow, just wow. Nothing quite like a Holy Nova that draws you 8 cards and gives your Lightwarden +8 attack. I <3 Geddon + and/or Frothing Berserker/Lightwarden/Cleric. Also, anyone else think Mana Addict is underrated? So much burst.

Master of Disguise - Hearthstone Card - Hearthstoneon Geddon? Has it been done? Would be funny.

So no way to get a key other than praying? I have a couple slow days ahead and was looking for a way to pass the time.

It's going into open beta in a couple weeks (beginning of December). They do still seem to be handing them out quite a bit though.

Question about the virtual ticket hearth stone cards. Has anyone bought one and do you get all four the HS cards or just a single one from the random four?

Are you referring to the Elite Tauren Chieftain? It's not available to players yet until the next patch is released. When it is patched in, you get the chieftain card. The other 3 cards are the effect cards it creates randomly when it's played.

Yes that's it. Thanks for the info and what the card does.

Put an Angry Chicken in my Priest deck for shits and giggles. Turns out it's pretty fucking good lol. You can enrage it easily yourself, and obviously buff the health enough to make it happen. It's good times.

Really enjoying Warlock now that I have a few cards (have only opened like 10-12 packs or so, whatever casual gold has allowed me. Have a Doomguard (5Mana, 5/7: Charge, Discard 2 Randomly and a Twisting Nether (8) Destroy all Minions, an Abomination (5) 4/4 Taunt, Deathrattle: Deal 2 damage to all minions and a Baron Geddon (7) 5/7: At the end of your turn, do 2 damage to ALL minions. I just play these cards + all the Warlock base set AoE's and it's pretty fun times.

Total AoE Cards:
x2 Dread Infernal (1)
x2 Hellfire (3)
x1 Abomination (2)
x1 Baron Geddon (2+2+2+2+2...)
x1 Twisting Nether (Destroy)

So much fun. Geddon doing damage the same turn you drop him is amazing. Combine that with cheap removal like Soulfire/Shadow Bolt/Demon Fire/Mortal Coil/Drain Life, which essentially all have +2 damage and it makes for such an easy time controlling the board. Just played a Priest in 2 Star Diamond game that was pretty tight but with me having the better tempo. I summoned Geddon on turn 7 and immediately he says "Thank You" 3 times, obviously being cocky about a next turn mind control. Then I just used Twisted Nether & lul'd. The best part is Geddon only being 7, and Voidwalkers 1, so you can summon both of them on the same turn, aoe everything, and the Voidwalker survives just enough to prevent Geddon from taking too much damage.

Only problem is learning when to stop with the crack that is the Warlock ability. Ran into fatigue for the first time today, ouch. Anyone else been doing any strange or unique decks for fun? It's difficult to do so without buying packs :O Never been so excited about opening commons in a card game before... Curious about a Geddon with a Rogue deck and Conceal? Would be very interesting. What's everyone's top 5-10 must have commons/rares all around to craft, usable in all decks? Crafted a Defender of Argus so far and Dire Wolf Alphas cos they are universally godly. What else?
The good rares have been listed, good commons are dark iron dwarf, just a really solid card and can allow you to get more value out of early minions or you can also give enemy minions the +2 power to puts minions of range of things like shadow word death and big game hunter. Loot hoarder, fairie dragons, and harvest golems are also all good commons that can fit in pretty much any deck.

Hmm yeah. Don't have any of those actually. Luckily have x2 of each of the silence guys.

Fuckin crazy how well that 1mana Paladin spell that makes a creature that attacks draw a card can be used offensively.

Do you think this guy was mad? Does thoughtsteal actually steal the cards from their deck or copy them?

Screenshots of a card game are as about as fun as watching inept retards play Magic the Gathering.

That is to say, really frustrating.

No shit, the subreddit for Hearthstone is just random pictures that I spend a minute staring at trying to figure out what the joke is they are trying to convey or it's just a picture of some buffed minion at like 48/48 when they could have just won the game 6 turns ago.

it copies it
that means if your paladin in arena has only 1 truesilver champion in your deck and the priest has 3 thoughtsteals he could end up with three truesilver champions
Yep, as long as he hasn't drawn it yet, it actually has to be in their library. If you use thoughtsteal when your opponent is out of cards you get nothing.

Anyone know how their match making system works? When I first got in, I was winning something like 4/5 games in unranked play mode, with just the basic stuff. About a week ago, I played ranked mode, got up to diamond 3 so far. Since then though, I'm now losing around 80% or more of the games I play, even in unranked. It feels like every match I get placed in now, ranked or unranked, I'm against highly skilled players with a much bigger selection of cards than I have. It makes just finishing the daily quests a serious headache.

Did I screw myself by ranking up to diamond before my decks were actually ready?
